Suggestion that I should have made 100 message ago:
This seems to be a "recall" proposal against the current recall
process. So - how about we see if there are 20 "eligible" people that
are willing to sponsor this? And if not, can we be done with it now?
AFAICT there are about 10 or so folk that have offered more than a
single comment, but again AFAICT I didn't really see anyone expressing
more than tepid interest in spending time on this.
FWIW, I think that it's probably OK to continue to have the "how much
influence should a remote-only participant have over the IETF process
discussion" but I also think that resolving that question before getting
down into the "how many deck chairs on the titanic" type discussions for
the recall process may be a much more productive approach that what I'm
currently seeing. And please - can it be time to move it off the IETF
mailing list?
Later, Mike
PS - like it or not, meeting fees provide a substantial amount of the
money for the general IETF budget specifically including standards
publication. If you are arguing for actions that reduce or tend to
reduce or have the potential to limit the intake of funds from that
model, I suggest you also come up with a more than handwaving proposal
for how to replace those funds or explain which functions supported by
the IETF we're going to eliminate to cover such shortfall.
